sundaygray: It's mostly made up... In the beginning Man created God... Bennycollins: Clear me How? Your ever loving God that created me will now throw me into the lake of fire that he created in case I don't love him back? so that I will burn for eternity? Ha... ha... ha... Na the chain wey them use hold Youna be that... So I understand nextstep: Exactly, Religion is man's attempt at explaining his existence, therefore they invent stories according to the history of their origins... World powers after conquering colonies, impose their system of worship on them and just as in our case in Nigeria, the Christian and Islamic missionaries imposing their diverging ways on us but because it was gift wrapped with education and so called civilization and forced down by slavery, we became trapped... 85 Likes 6 Shares |

Because they thought that God was their personal Wishmaster! So when He did not listen to them, they got angry and revenged saying "since you did not answer me, I will never answer you again. In fact I won't talk to you again. And I am sure that if I don't talk to you it would pain you". So, they are just people who have seen that God has been them away. Thus, this is them trying to revenge against God by saying all types of rubbish. 97 Likes 1 Share |

While I won't exactly consider myself an atheist, I'm the farthest thing from religious, so I guess that counts. My de-conversion story is a pretty long one. But to sum it all up, I became very inquisitive, and started to ask a lot of questions. Those questions led to more questions, and eventually, after taking my time to learn more about religion, and about the universe, and actually taking an objective look at things, I realized there was not a lot of credible evidence for the beliefs which I previously held. 72 Likes 2 Shares |

One thing I've learnt about atheists is that they have herd mentality. There are only very few atheists but you see the rest are either followers, angry people, and those who don't like extra activities. However, the majority even from the comments are ex-christians. The common excuse is they are not convinced about the existence of God. So, many of them will simply tell you that's why they became atheist. What they won't tell you is the disappointment they have felt. Many have had experiences where they thought or expected God to do something but they got nothing. In anger, they left the religion because they saw no point to it. While another group fall in the category of those forced to go to church as kids on Sunday. They'd rather be at home watching a movie or with their PS4. Growing up gave them the opportunity to stay back at home. They got used to it and so Sundays became like every other day and they forgot about church. Since they don't bother well it's as good as there's no point of religion. Then the last group which constitute the majority is school. Well that's where most people don't go to church, I never did in school. But you see when someone says there's no God, the other person well thinks it's cool and they sort of become atheists by association. So they hang around and argue the whole idea why Christians are nuts. It's a fun conversation, they flow with it and then bam, they are now confirmed atheists. So that's about it. sundaygray: 75 Likes 6 Shares |

No one is begging anyone to believe in God, however I believe there is God, after watching and listening to all the explanations of the big bang theory I reconfirmed there is God. The source of Life is from God 43 Likes 3 Shares |

I am not an atheist , I am a theist but I don't practice any organized religion. I simply live my life just believing there's an intelligent being who put all the things we see and call the universe together. I don't care about the being at all and I don't believe the being whether it is a he or a she has a son or messenger or anything of that sort. I just live. I am not scared of death at all, I know it's a necessary end for all living things. I love life but I don't like it so much for me to desire a second or an "everlasting life" after death. What will I do with it? If there's life after death, I don't need it. I do good not because i want reward from the being or because I am scared of being punished by the being for not doing good, I do good because it feels good to be good. I don't have words like "Sin" or "Fornication" etc in my dictionary, I eat and do only what the law permits. I don't live my life according to the dictates of any silly religious scriptures. I just live. I was a Christian until the day I read numbers 31. Ah ! Terrible! 62 Likes 4 Shares |
